MG Quiz

MG1100 built by Authi factory, Pamplona, Spain?

MG1300 built with fibreglass body in Arica, Chile?

I knew we'd get there in the end! :woohoo:

So MGs made overseas and sold as MGs with local content:
1) MGB at Zetland, Sydney, Australia
2) MG1100 by Authi at Pamplona, Spain,
3) MG1100 by BMC South Africa at Blacheath, Cape Town, South Africa.
4) MG1100 by Arica, in Chile.

Well done!

Identify the person and the link to MG:

I'll let someone else answer this one

The story behind the football playing girl and the new TF dates back to April last yea when Sue Smith, who had scored 16 goals in 90 appearances for England, had just taken delivery of MG TF.

She said “I am thrilled that MG Motor UK recognises that the women’s game is now just as thrilling, especially at international level, as the men’s game and are sponsoring me with this fantastic sports car.

The newspaper headlines reporting this predictably read Britain’s top international women soccer stars is going topless whenever the sun shines – thanks to MG Motor UK!

Onwards and upwards, here is a reminder of the question I posted earlier;




Who is the designer?
What is the name of the car?
Where did he get his inspiration for this car?
Why would each production car be unique?[/quote]

Correct!

A bit of a guess

The MG Land rover concept 提艾弗 (that is TF in Chinese) due in 2016 :ohmy:

Designed to run on very thin rubber tyres (due to commodity price increases) it is a 4WD, 4WS, 2 seater with an extremely powerful 240V electric motor utilising 160 CR2300 watch batteries recharged via a photo electric cell built into the windscreen. The designer - Gerry McGovern - said it was the right time (GMT) for such a huge leap of faith by SAIC (or in Chinese 艾丝诶艾西) and was a quantum leap in technology. Sales are expected to begin in China 吾艾伊艾丝提伊艾儿迪诶吾艾

Named the 艾丝艾尺哦艾丝艾弗 the inspiration comes from the Tata Nano and each car will be unique due to the fact only one will be built.

And the real answer It is, of course, the Concept M G RV 8

The MG RV8 is a concept created by Ernesto Rodriguez - an Art Center College of Design graduate - as a new vehicle for the Chinese owned MG brand.

The objective of the project was to restore MG as a genuine British icon. The challenge was of course, how to accomplish that when the company is now Chinese. Rodriquez's clever solution was to split the manufacturing into two separate steps. Firstly the basic structure of the car, a "body in white" is built in China. This is then shipped over to the UK where some of the body panels and finishing elements which give the car some character are added, items like the hood, grille, headlights, rear end, roof panel, wheels and interior trim.

This final stage of the build process would be carried out at the nearest MG (Morris Garage) dealer to where the car is sold. The car would be tailored to suit the buyers tastes and style. Different color combinations would be on offer, as well as different hood designs and grille panels. The idea is that no two RV8's would be the same.

To help underscore the "Britishness" of the RV8 concept the design was partially inspired by the Spitfire fighter plane.

Ernesto Rodriguez is a recent graduate of Art Center College of Design's Transportation Design Department. He is currently working as freelance designer in many different arenas of industrial design, however he is also looking for a permanent design position.

AREN'T WE ALL :woohoo:

Go to the top of the class Ted

Fire away

Oh thank you kind Sir, I had written the first answer and by pure chance, having posted, found the correct one whilst looking to book my boomerangs for Oz in April. :silly: Personally I prefer the first answer!! :yesnod:

Right, thinking caps on although Brian and Paul will have this before I have refreshed my coffee

G’day sports, I’m Sheila and I like dancing. :woohoo:
I knew a few famous Englishmen and have met a few at the seaside.

My name, my more famous connections, a brief potted history would be good.

If you go back in time (and on this Quiz) you may find some hints.
